Mountainside Treatment Center

Mountainside Treatment Center structures their addiction treatment around two primary outpatient programs designed for different recovery needs. Their intensive outpatient program runs for 7 weeks, while the standard outpatient program extends to 10 weeks, allowing individuals to choose the level of support that matches their recovery goals and life circumstances.

The recovery center provides medication-assisted treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy, individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy sessions. Both programs offer flexible scheduling with evening appointments available until 9 PM Monday through Thursday, accommodating working professionals and students. Clients can participate through secure telehealth platforms or attend in-person sessions at the Wilton location, ensuring continuity of care regardless of transportation or scheduling challenges.

Long-term recovery success extends beyond initial treatment completion, which is why Mountainside emphasizes comprehensive aftercare support. Their extended care program provides ongoing structure for alumni, while recovery coaching helps individuals navigate challenges that arise months or years into their recovery journey.

The center maintains active alumni services and hosts free virtual support groups that create lasting connections within their recovery community. Family wellness outpatient services ensure that loved ones receive ongoing support, recognizing that addiction impacts entire family systems. These aftercare components help graduates maintain sobriety while building the social and emotional skills necessary for sustained recovery.

Under the leadership of Medical Director Dr. Karen O'Flynn and Clinical Director Maureen Biggs, Mountainside's clinical team addresses alcohol use disorder, drug use disorder, co-occurring disorders, and trauma-related conditions. Director of Outpatient Services Courtney Hulse oversees program delivery, while specialized staff provide targeted interventions for adolescents, adults, and families.

The treatment approach combines traditional therapeutic methods with modern conveniences like HIPAA-compliant telehealth and toxicology screenings through Quest Diagnostics. This integration allows for consistent monitoring and support while maintaining the flexibility that outpatient clients require to balance treatment with work, school, and family obligations.

Mountainside accepts major insurance carriers including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Magellan, with many plans covering all or part of addiction treatment costs. For individuals without insurance coverage or with limited benefits, the center offers self-pay options and sliding scale payment arrangements.

The Wilton location serves residents throughout Fairfield County, Connecticut and Westchester County, New York, providing accessible substance abuse treatment for suburban and rural communities. Day and evening appointment availability, combined with virtual treatment options, removes common barriers that prevent individuals from accessing consistent addiction treatment while maintaining their daily responsibilities.
